I'm having the same problem with mine after the OTA. I tried doing a factory reset too and that didn't seem to help. I had no issues before the update.
I'm also getting one or two random resets per day, but I'm on Freeza's stockish 4.4, so I don't know if my problem is a KitKat thing or a ROM thing.

Can I just download the tar of me7 the 1.6gb file or whatever. Open in odin and flash under phone?...
Should I have anything checked etc?
Im coming from mdk rooted twrp clean rom to bone stock latest ota.

Why not just Odin to mdk then just take the ota? Or flash the me7 ROM?

I just figured It would be easier. If it can be done this way. To get a complete clean and stock install

I downloaded that and the one click mdk restore from sxt develop. Idk which is better to do

You dont flash under phone either. You use the pda option. But ya you can do either. Flash mdk then take ota or use the me7 file.

And that'll remove root. Twrp and everything? I downloaded it from androidfilehost. From openyoureyes. Latest me7 tar its like 1.6gb..

I just want to restore to stock right so no hassle and no brick

Yeah itll be a bone stock phone afterwards. If you use the no wipe ones you will be left with your apps/data/and internal storage intact.

Whats the whole point of the triangle flash counter I read in other threads?. If you can just flash it under pda
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
It keeps track of custom rom flashes. I think samsung implemented it for warranty reasons. Dont think its present in the gs4 atm tho.

Yeah I just checked and noticed it. Never noticed it before but I use a different method to reset it anyway (when I had my s3 that is). This is from chains desc. of the app.
"TriangleAway*was built to disable the triangle (if a visual warning is present) and reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0."

Helping out here is like driving your friend to the tattoo parlor to get a severely ill-advised tattoo... Don't do it man! Or give me your address and I'll overnight you a bone-stock me7 and a prepaid shipping label to dispose of that icky unlocked one you've got But seriously don't do it, you're killing me.

Hello,
I saw your post and want to use safestrap to install a custom rom. I just don't have $750 laying around, so I need to be sure that I can reset everything to bone stock. I am running me7 firmware and have already obtained vrzme7nowipe.zip. I just HAVE to reset the flash counter if safestrap effects it at all. Can you please help?
Everytime I flash a ktikat rom it stops at the boot logo. I have flashed 4.1.2 roms and 4.3 roms with no issues. Its just the kitkat roms. Any ideas?

What recovery and version are you using? Have you tried wiping dalvik, cache, data, AND internal SD?
Edit: also since 4.3 runs fine, I will still ask anyway. Did you Odin the mj9 firmware?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I have wiped all kinds to sunday...from some of them to wiping the complete phone with no luck. Last night I Odin to mj9 to flash Alliance 4.3 and then tried kitkat but still no go trying to flash 4.4. I will try more tonight.

I have waited 10-30 minutes on all of my 15 tries of various versions. its only Only 4.4 kit kat that does this. What is the major difference on 4.4 vs 4.3 that could cause this?
****UPDATE*** After further digging, there was hardware issues. No motion sensor, front camera bad, video recorder bad, ...I would assume this is the reason as the hardware is bad.

Trying to put my Note 3 back to stock so I can get the Kit Kat update. Download the stock 4.3 firmware and used Odin to flash it. But as seen in the pictures, it failed. Now I can't even turn it on. When I do, it shows the message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Any help would be appreciated.

Problem solved, was trying to flash firmware version MI3. It doesn't work, because you can't downgrade to a previous version of firmware. I downloaded version MJ4 from www.sammobile.com and it worked perfectly.

You may not.. But I had problems taking the KK update OTA being as though I was 0x1. Ended up flashing the official tar file via Odin.

Had nothing to do with it ... There are two spots that need to say official in the phone and not custom ... Sometimes you may have to flash Rom in Odin boot into stock recovery factory reset and then flash the Rom in Odin again ... To get it to official and take ota without it failing

Yea.. I did all that. Odin'd back to MJ4 stock. Factory reset. Confirmed both officials in download mode. Rebooted and tried taking OTA. No Buenos

I did not get software ota update even after 4.3 firmware upgrade...how to get that update? Anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Lots of reasons you don't get it, usual problem is modified status. Have to be fully stock, unrooted and flash count of zero.

How to fully stock and flash count of zero? I didn't get it?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can use TriangleAway to reset the binary counter to zero.
And by fully stock he means getting a stock unmodified image of your device's firmware from a website like www.sammobile.com and flashing it to your phone through Odin.
Oh thankyou...now I got you thanxx...I did custom rom few days ago..I didn't like cm10.2 and I couldn't even return to stock rom bcoz I forgot to backup stock rom...so I found stock rom from trueandroid website for my country vietman...I flash that stock rom by odin...now according to you first I should go for triangleaway and again flash that stock rom by odin will give me ota update? ???

So I was on a 4.2.2 build for the longest time and wanted to check out a KitKat ROM. So after flashing it and not caring too much for it, I went back to my backup only to find out that I have no cell service.
Can someone tell me what I need to flash via Odin or possibly recovery to get my cell service back?
I'm on beans7 with 4.2.2.
Thanks XDA peeps! Much appreciated!

And grab one of the modem only files and flash in whatever recovery your using. I'm on NC5 and it's treated me well.

So here's what I have and I've tried a few different modems from that link and no matter what, it still boots, but no cell service. Any ideas? I've tried both ME7s regular and non and even an MDK stock, but no luck :-\

Since your on MDK have you tried flashing the MDK non-hlos modem? Not just the " modem only " one.
Usually flashing a new ROM doesn't effect your modem at all so I'd usually say that it's the ROM that's the problem. But since you've been trying different modems to try and fix the problem it may good to try the non-hlos one. Also make sure whatever recovery your using is up to date.
I've had to flash the MDK non-hlos then I used the phone for a few days and ended up flashing the NC5 one without issue.
